Play
Buzz in, or everyone answers at once. Play in teams and the board adds up each team's points.
What are the three ways to play a quiz?
Everyone guesses: every phone answers and everyone who is right scores. Buzz first: the fastest buzzer answers. Say it out loud: players answer to the room and a Quizmaster judges, so the Quizmaster does not play that quiz.

Arnold: There are three ways to play a quiz! Let's take them one at a time.
Arnold: First… Everyone guesses! Every phone picks an answer at the same time. Everyone who's right scores. The game does the marking.
Lily: Second… Buzz first! Race to hit your buzzer. The fastest player answers on their phone. The game does the marking.
Arnold: Third… Say it out loud! Shout your answer to the room. The Quizmaster sees the right answer on their phone, and taps Right or Wrong. They know the answers, so they sit that game out.
Lily: That's all three! Want to play along too? Pick Everyone guesses or Buzz first.
Tips for teachers
- Run it as the Quizmaster. You see the answers and can judge spoken ones.
- Use teams if not every student has a device: one phone or tablet per team works.
- Mix in a quick game like Doodle Dash with your topic's words as a reward at the end.
- Check your school's rules on phones and on online tools before you play.
